Fuzzbender Germanium Guitar Pedal.

    This is the Bluewhale Fuzzbender, Bluewhale wouldn't be Bluewhale without a classic Fuzz, this pedal is the culmination of 15 years of development, all those years ago I started playing around with the Fuzzface circuit, I learned a lot in that time and now I have the Fuzzbender. The Fuzzbender boasts classic fuzz tones and a bit of boost for when you want to add a some amp derived distortion to the mix, with this pedal you will get smooth asymmetric fuzz rich in harmonic overtones, compression and sustain will produce those fantastic fuzz tones we all crave.

    The Fuzzbender pedal contains 3 transistors, 1 is silicon, the other 2 are NOS germanium transistors made for the Soviet military in the 1980's, I am sure they are better used in a fuzz pedal than a tank radio, they are of very high quality and sound great in the fuzz, I don't imagine it was healthy to supply the Soviet military with rubbish! Germanium transistors are obsolete now and getting hard to find, especially good ones but for now we can benefit from top quality germanium transistors delivering fantastic tone at reasonable cost.

    All Bluewhale pedals are handcrafted by myself with care and attention to detail in Bude Cornwall, I use only high quality parts sourced from trusted suppliers to produce the best possible pedals, they come with the promise of fantastic tone and are robust and reliable, and the price tag that won't make your eyes water.
